'The', 'A', 'An'...alphabetical order
« on: September 04, 2012, 09:30:21 AM »
When viewing the list of thumbnails on a video wall (in jukebox mode), is it possible for the alphabetical order to be adjusted so that movies that start with 'The' appear in the right place rather than all under 'T'?

This also goes for 'A' and 'An'.

Thanks.

yes.
all you have to do is remove the "the" or the "a" and name your movies like this :

Last of the Mohicans (The)

That way, it will be under "L" and not "T"

Thanks.  I guess the solution is pretty obvious although it does mean a bit of work renaming stuff!

I always name the folder/movie with a title like that this way:

Last Of The Mohicans, The (1992)

I have never had a problem using this method with YAMJ, and I prefer this sort order.
MED450X2 with PCIe Wireless                                 Firmware 3.0.2, NAS off, DLNA DMR&DMS enabled
Samsung LED HDTV (UN46C6300)                           Windows 7 Enterprise x64 SP1
Samsung USB Drives [2x2TB] (HX-DT020EB/B62)      Asus RT-N66U Router (FW 3.0.0.4.260)
Analog audio output to Pioneer Receiver (VSX-516)   HDMI audio output to HDTV

You said you only had some 20 - should be not more then 15 minutes work, or are you slow with the keyboard?  ;D
